Celebrating Excellence, Expertise, and Client Value 

We are thrilled to announce that two of our own, Wes Hackett and Suzy Dean, have once again been recognised as Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs)! This prestigious honour reflects not only their technical expertise and passion but also their longstanding commitment to the Microsoft community and to delivering excellence for Addin365’s clients. 

Celebrating Our Microsoft MVPs 

Wes Hackett has been awarded the MVP title for an extraordinary twelfth consecutive year, a testament to his enduring leadership, innovation, and technical mastery. Over more than a decade, Wes has consistently contributed to the Microsoft community, sharing deep insights into how organisations can get the best from Microsoft 365, Azure, and modern workplace technologies. His journey as a Microsoft MVP has been defined by a remarkable ability to break down complex challenges and help clients maximise the value of their investment in Microsoft technologies. 

Suzy Dean, Addin365’s CEO, celebrates her seventh year as a Microsoft MVP. Suzy’s expertise in driving digital transformation, employee engagement, and intranet strategies has made her a recognised thought leader, not only within Addin365 but also across the global Microsoft ecosystem. Her dedication to empowering organisations to meet their business goals through a Microsoft 365 digital workplace is at the heart of her continued recognition. 

 

What is a Microsoft MVP? 

The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) programme recognises exceptional leaders within the technical community who share their expertise, contribute to the development of Microsoft products, and help others do more with less. MVPs are renewed annually based on their real-world impact, technical acumen, and active involvement in the community, from speaking at conferences to providing valuable feedback directly to Microsoft’s product teams. 

Being an MVP is not simply about technical knowledge. It is about a passion for technology, a commitment to community, and a desire to help others succeed. Microsoft MVPs are trusted advisors, continually staying at the forefront of change and innovation in the Microsoft ecosystem.

At Addin365, having MVPs like Wes and Suzy on our team means our clients benefit in unique and tangible ways. Here’s how our Microsoft MVPs bring value to every engagement: 

  • Direct Access to Microsoft Product Teams: MVPs are regularly invited to exclusive briefings, private previews, and feedback sessions with Microsoft engineers.

  • Cutting-Edge Solutions: Through ongoing hands-on involvement with the latest Microsoft technologies and tools, Wes and Suzy are able to design and deliver solutions that are not just current, but future-proof. Our clients benefit from strategies and deployments that leverage the full potential of services like SharePoint, Viva, Teams, OneDrive, Copilot and Azure. 
  • Community-Driven Insights: MVPs are at the heart of a global network of IT thought leaders. This community fosters constant learning, troubleshooting, and sharing of new ideas. Our clients gain insights inspired by real-world deployments, diverse case studies, and the collective expertise of the worldwide MVP community. 
  • Trusted and Recognised Advisors: The MVP award is an independent recognition of expertise and trustworthiness. When partnering with Addin365, clients can be confident that they are working with professionals whose knowledge is not just certified, but celebrated at the highest international level. 
  • Advocacy and Early Adoption: MVPs champion the adoption of new technologies and approaches, ensuring our clients stay ahead of the curve. Whether it’s helping organisations navigate the latest advancements in AI or digital employee experience, our MVPs are proactive in ensuring our clients are prepared for what’s next.
